Jury selection began Monday in the case of two Gainesville residents charged with the sex trafficking of a girl. Maria Mercedes Vasquez-Quiroz and Digno de Jesus Mejia were indicted in February 2014 in alleged connection to the trafficking of a girl younger than 10 for sexual servitude. “I would ask each and every one of you to have a brave heart,” said Hall County Assistant District Attorney Shiv Sachdeva to the jury pool before entering a round of general questions.
